1 Kings 1:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, reigns and David our lord does not know it?

¹² Come now, let me advise you how to save your own life and your son Solomon’s.

¹³ Go to King David and say, Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?
